Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao were a bit surprised to hear Li Wensong say this; he truly did not waste a single word, being as direct as one could possibly be.

It was just a matter of whether Lian Jie could accept this information.

Lian Jie blinked: "A chess piece? A Peak Eternal Realm Expert who has mastered the Law of Causality?!"

Li Wensong nodded.

"Wait, could this expert you are talking about be..."

Before Lian Jie could finish, Li Wensong nodded directly: "That is right, it is my Brother Lu, Lu Qing'an! The very same person who caused you to suffer a setback in the Sea of Fallen Gods that day!"

"He! He is actually one of the few Peak Eternal Realm Experts who has mastered the Law of Causality?!" Lian Jie was extremely shocked.

After that incident, she had confirmed that Lu Qing'an was shockingly powerful. Even though she had left too quickly that day, it did not prevent her from learning about Lu Qing'an's subsequent feats from some of the Eternal Realm individuals who left later!

However, even so, she had never imagined that Lu Qing'an was one of the only two possible Peak Eternal Realm Experts in the Nine Regions and Ten Domains who had mastered the Law of Causality!

However... Lian Jie looked at Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao at this moment.

These two were both famous existences among the Peak Eternal Realm Experts!

Since these two were also here, perhaps there was a high probability that what Li Wensong said was true!!!

"If you do not believe me, you can ask these two. Furthermore, I can reveal to you that even these two are among that person's chess pieces! Therefore, you had best not feel ashamed to become my Brother Lu's chess piece. To us, this is actually an honor!"

Li Wensong's tone was serious; when facing Lian Jie, he was clearly more serious and stern than when he faced Li Muchen and the other.

After all, Lian Jie was indeed not as strong as Li Muchen and the other.

Moreover, he treated Lian Jie this way intentionally so that Li Muchen and the other would see it, hoping they would change their perspective later and not feel that being a chess piece was a bad thing.

Lian Jie glanced at Li Muchen and the other, and seeing that they said nothing when called Lu Qing'an's chess pieces, remaining very calm as if they had already accepted this fact, she swallowed hard.

It was true!!!

"Am I really a chess piece? Is that person setting up a plan? What kind of plan?" Lian Jie asked curiously.

"A heaven-shaking grand plan! As for the specific goal, I fear only Brother Lu himself knows. I only know that now Brother Lu has given us a new mission: to let the Nine Regions and Ten Domains know about the Eternal Night Sect as soon as possible! And I have come this time to have you join us, to let the name of the Eternal Night Sect spread throughout the entire Nine Regions and Ten Domains!"

As Li Wensong spoke, he took a sip of tea, his whole person filled with the aura of a leader.

"Afterwards, I still need to go find Blood Firmament Dao Lord and Lava Sage; they are also among the chess pieces."

Lian Jie took a deep breath and made her decision: "Fine, tell me what you need me to do. After this matter is finished, I hope you will take me to meet that person!"

She felt it was necessary to meet with Lu Qing'an calmly; this time, the two of them were no longer on opposing sides, so they could have a proper talk!

"Rest assured, after this mission is delegated, I will naturally take you all to meet Brother Lu!" Li Wensong smiled.

Li Muchen and the others had come specifically to meet Lu Qing'an, so all of this was certainly under Lu Qing'an's control. He did not need to do anything; he just needed to follow what these people wanted to do and arrange things properly!

This was what a number one pawn should do!

Try one's best not to let Lu Qing'an, this chess player, waste any more mental energy on such trivial matters!

"Good!" Lian Jie nodded seriously.

After chatting, Li Wensong stood up first and said: "Since that is the case, let us continue to find the next person. Time is tight and the mission is heavy, so let us not chat any longer."

He felt it was necessary to quickly gather all these Peak Eternal Realm Experts, arrange the mission details properly, and then bring the people before Lu Qing'an.

The sooner these matters were completed, the more it would demonstrate his exceptional ability!

Just like that, the group set off again, heading in one direction.

On the way, Lian Jie approached Li Muchen and the other, trying to send a Sound Transmission to them, asking what had happened between them and Lu Qing'an before, and how they had become chess pieces.

Hearing Lian Jie's Sound Transmission, Li Muchen did not know how to answer her for a moment.

Instead, Zhang Shundao chuckled and told Lian Jie about Li Muchen's experience all at once.

Upon hearing that Li Muchen had actually had his memories deleted by special means, and that his actions had been controlled by Lu Qing'an at many important time nodes, Lian Jie fell silent.

Was this the terrifying aspect of a Peak Eternal Realm Expert who had mastered the Law of Causality!

An expert of Li Muchen's level was controlled to such an extent!

How terrifying!!!

Not long after, the group followed Lian Jie to the Daoist temple where Blood Firmament Dao Lord was located.

In fact, within this Advanced Star Domain, the three Peak Eternal Realm Experts—Lian Jie, Blood Firmament Dao Lord, and Lava Sage—were all special existences.

Blood Firmament Dao Lord was a mass of blood left behind by a Peak Eternal Realm Expert, which had gained sentience and formed.

He belonged to the category of ominous beings.

Lava Sage was also the same, born from a special treasure, lava, gaining sentience.

When Blood Firmament Dao Lord sensed the arrival of Lian Jie and the others, he shuddered and prepared to flee at the first opportunity.

There was no help for it; the things that happened a while ago had truly left him with aftereffects!

Most importantly, he could now sense three auras of Peak Eternal Realm Experts among the crowd!

This was clearly a case of visitors with ill intentions!

He quickly transformed into a mass of blood mist, pushing the Space Rule to its limit.

Seeing this, Lian Jie was stunned for a moment, then immediately unleashed the Space Rule to intercept Blood Firmament Dao Lord.

"Blood Firmament! Why are you running! I have something to ask of you!" Lian Jie shouted.

Blood Firmament Dao Lord did not pay attention, using all his might to escape.

He dodged the interception of Lian Jie's Space Rule, but the next moment, to his surprise, Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao attacked simultaneously, and with the coordination of Divine Ability and rules, they intercepted him instantly!

The powerful means made it impossible for him to escape!

He was shocked, looking at Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao with red eyes: "Two Fellow Daoists! I have no feud with you! Why treat me like this!"

Li Wensong and Han Li and the others were all here; they were clearly sent by Lu Qing'an!

Then this Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao were likely related to Lu Qing'an as well!

It was highly probable that they had come together to eliminate him!

He really had not expected that even after he had done all that, giving half of his fortune to Lu Qing'an, this Lu Qing'an would still come to silence him at this time!

Could it be because he had not followed Lu Qing'an's instructions and had not publicized the fact that he had been ruthlessly suppressed, causing Lu Qing'an to be displeased?

If that was really the case, then...

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need for this. We have come to find you not to deal with you." Zhang Shundao smiled and said.

Look at this guy, look at what he has been turned into! He looked pitiful no matter how one looked at him.

Upon hearing this, Blood Firmament Dao Lord was stunned for a moment.

"You, really will not take action against me?"

Li Wensong smiled: "Taking action is unnecessary, but I do have a question I want to ask you: have you done what you promised Brother Lu earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Blood Firmament Dao Lord's body trembled. Wasn't this still coming to make trouble over that matter!
